564 vehicles with tinted
panes challaned Chandigarh, June 18 — On the first day of the challaning drive against black films on the windowpanes of vehicles, the Chandigarh traffic police set up 30 check points all over the city today and challaned 564 four-wheelers, including buses and three government vehicles, for using black films. The challaning drive caught several car owners unawares as just 48 hours of time was given by the police to get the films removed. Besides, the issue of having black tinted glasses on the windowpanes was not clear to the cops on duty. The traffic police had clarified a couple of days ago that tinted glasses that came with the cars from factory are allowed. Despite this several city residents were warned that they must take off the tinted glasses. Mr J.N. Sethi, a Sector 16 advocate , who faced such a problem, said: ''My car has very light-coloured tinted glasses but the cops on duty first insisted on a challan and then relented but not before saying that I must take the glasses off.'' Meanwhile, a source said that the police had no instrument to measure the percentage of visibility through a tinted glass. Nor have they fixed any standard norms for measuring the same, leaving it open to interpretation by the cops on duty. Several city residents could be seen arguing with the police on this issue, while referring to the statements of the police in the newspapers that had said that tinted glasses were allowed. The police may have hurried through this exercise, opines Mr R.L. Dixit of Sector 37. An announcement was made through the media on June 16 that challans would commence on June 18. This gave ample opportunity to those in the trade of removing films to make a fast buck. Several car owners could not get the films removed on time due to the extraordinary rush People who had gone out of Chandigarh for a few days on holiday or on some work were also caught unawares. A Sector 44 resident, Mr S.K. Bhandari, who was returning from Manali, was surprised when he was stopped. He said: ''I managed to plead that I am coming from outside and how would anyone know about such a thing happening in the city at such a short notice.'' Since morning, teams of the police drawn from its various wings started stopping vehicles with black films. Though the order of the Supreme Court permits the use of light tinted glasses, it does not allow very dark glasses. The police challaned a bus owned by a private company for using dark black tinted glasses. In the case of curtains, no challans were issued. The same was true for colourful window panels used by youngsters on the back windowpane of cars. Just on the Chandigarh-Punjab border it was comical sight as several car drivers coming from SAS Nagar turned their cars back towards Punjab upon seeing the policemen. Visitors to the city were also not spared and were challaned. A couple of days ago the SP, Traffic, Mr Balbir Singh, had clarified that ''ignorance of law will not be treated as an excuse.'' The traffic police
clarified today that the challans for the use of black
films will continue. |
Maximum CET toppers from city Chandigarh, June 18 — Chandigarh boys and girls have once again brought laurels to their institutions by bagging the top positions in the Combined Entrance Test (CET), 1999, conducted by Panjab University for admission to nearly 600 seats in various medical, engineering and architecture courses in colleges affiliated to the University and Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology, PU. The results were declared here yesterday. Most of them have also fared well in the plus two CBSE board examination and the IIT-JEE examinations also. Chirag Kamal Ahuja from DAV College, Sector 10, is the topper of the medical group with 279.5 marks out of 360. Among the first 10 toppers in this group, nine are from Chandigarh, while in the non-medical group, among the first 11, four are from Chandigarh. Vikas Bansal of Panchkula, a student of Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 46, has topped the engineering group by scoring 314.5 out of 360 marks. Vikas had earlier secured the eighth rank in the IIT Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) in the country and stood eighth in the Roorkee Engineering Examination. Vikas, who plans to pursue computer engineering from IIT, Delhi, prefers to serve his country as an engineer and does not aspire to be a civil servant. A topper all through, he secured 90.8 per cent in the CBSE plus two examination and had an aggregate of 96 per cent in physics, chemistry and mathematics. Having a sharp memory, he believes in enhancing his GK by reading newspapers and magazines and loves to play tennis. He is presently in Mumbai for the International Chemistry Olympiad. Of the first 10 students who have qualified for admission to the medical colleges, four are from DAV College, Sector 10, including the topper. Neeraj Gupta has bagged the fourth position with 262 marks, Basant Garg is sixth with 259.7 marks and Amit Gupta ninth with 249.2 marks. Balika Gupta of Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 10, who has ranked second in the medical group of CET with 278 marks had earlier topped the city in the medical group by scoring 91.8 per cent marks in the boards this year. She was hoping to be the CET topper also. Determined to serve society as a doctor, she now plans to do her MBBS from the local Government Medical College, Sector 32. She draws her inspiration from her elder sister who is already doing her degree from Ahmedabad. Basant Garg, who has secured the sixth rank, has also qualified the entrance examinations of CMC, Vellore, and St John's Medical College, Bangalore. He is, however, awaiting the results of the All-India examinations conducted by the CBSE and AIIMS, before he decides where he should do his MBBS from. He wants to be a civil servant as he feels health is an important ingredient for development. Neeraj Kaur, bracketed sixth with 259.75 marks and Purva Khandelwal who has ranked eighth are students of Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 16. Rashi Singhal, who has ranked third in the medical group with 277.2, marks from the DAV Model School, Sector 15, had secured 90.4 per cent in the plus two examinations. Tanveer Samra of GMSSS-16 is fifth with 261.75 marks. Kinshuk Jerath, a student of SD Public School, Sector 32, has been placed seventh. Kinshuk also secured the 97th rank in the IIT-JEE results. Mayank Rawat of Panchkula who is ranked fifth with 302 marks has an intense desire to work with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) build missiles or jet air crafts. Though his parents want him to become a civil servant, he is keen on pursuing scientific research. He had ranked 26th in REC Kurukshetra, 170th in IIT, and 398th in Roorkee Engineering. However, he plans to do electronics engineering from IIT, Delhi. Preeti Sood, the girl who is the plus two topper in the city with 93.8 per cent marks, is ranked eighth in the non-medical group with 291 marks. A student of GMSSS-16, she now plans to do bio-technology and bio-chemical engineering and become a scientist. Her rank in the IIT exam was 1224. She will try her luck in the civil services and is a regular reader of various journals and magazines to update her general knowledge. According to her, engineers make better civil servants as normally students with higher scores normally opt for the non-medical stream and continue to show results later. Meanwhile, Anuj Gupta of
DAV College, Sector 10, is the topper of the architecture
group with 375 marks. Having scored 739 position in IIT,
he is now keen to do his electrical engineering from IIT,
Kharagpur. His ultimate goal is to do MBA and pursue a
career in management and has no plans to go and work
abroad. Anuj who has secured 260 marks in the non-medical
group appeared for the architecture exam only to cover
the risk factor. |
Captain Guleria killed in
Kashmir explosion PANCHKULA, June 18 — Yet another life was lost in the insurgency in Kashmir when Captain Deepak Guleria of Rashtriya Rifles, hailing from Cholthra in Sarkaghat tehsil in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, lost his life in a blast triggered by an improvised explosive device (IED) somewhere near Kangan on the Kashmir-Leh road early this morning. It was another loss for Panchkula in the past two months as the township lost a brave son-in-law who had gone to examine the site of a powerful blast near Kangan at around 6 a.m. this morning. The Captain, whose in-laws are in Sector 12 here, is survived by his wife, Poonam and a one-year and two months-old-son, Dhruv. The father of the gallant soldier, Mr Mohan Lal Guleria, retired as a DIG from CRPF. Recently a Deputy Commandant of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Joy Lal, had lost his life when the bus in which he was travelling was blown up by a landmine about 150 km from Srinagar. The Deputy Commandant was a resident of Sector 6 here. Over 31 years old, Captain Guleria was commissioned in the Army in 1990 and married Poonam, daughter of Wg Cdr H.L.Ratta (retd), on December 8,1994. Relatives and family friends of the martyr remember him as a cheerful and agile person. He was an excellent player and represented his Corps in basketball. One of the jawans of Rashtriya Rifles who accompanied the body from the Chandigarh airport to the house of the martyr’s in-laws here said at around 6.15 a.m. today a powerful blast occurred at a short distance from where the Captain was staying. Immediately Captain Guleria, along with few jawans of his regiment, reached near the site of the blast, in which some soldiers were injured, in their bullet-proof vehicle. When Captain Guleria was stepping out of his vehicle to examine the site, a blast occurred and he became unconscious. He was then taken to the base hospital at Srinagar, where he was declared dead. The mortal remains of the Captain were brought in a plane from Srinagar to Chandigarh, from where the tri-coloured draped body was brought in a decorated army truck to the residence of his in-laws. As soon as the body of the gallant soldier was lowered down from the truck, relatives and close friends of the family wept inconsolably. Close relatives of the
family said the body would be sent to his native place in
Himachal Pradesh, where he would be cremated with full
military honours tomorrow. The body was brought here so
as to enable relatives and friends to pay their respects
to the gallant soldier. The father of the Captain is
expected to reach here late tonight before the body is
taken to Himachal Pradesh. |
Demand to set up memorial PANCHKULA, June 18 — Panchkula Sewa Samiti, a social organisation, has urged the Haryana Government to set up a monument in memory of the martyrs of the district who had sacrificed their lives in fighting insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir. While paying their
tributes to the martyrs the convener of the samiti, Mr
Kapil Chadha said so far four martyrs — Deputy
Commandant of ITBP, Joy Lal, Major Deepinder Butcher,
Capt Rohit Kaushal and Capt Sandeep Shankhla — had
done proud to the residents of the township. He demanded
that a memorial should be established near the
Mini-secretariat complex in Sector 1 here. |
Power stations house teastalls CHANDIGARH, June 18 — A visit to the 66-kv grid Electricity Sub-station in Industrial Area, Phase II, presents a picture of neglect on the part of the authorities. The sub-station has housed a teastall within its premises.The stall owner has made new provision for a special door and a service window constructed in the boundary wall of the building. The stall owner, Shiv Prasad, claims that he has been running the business since 1984. He says that he has been running the shop with the consent of the office staff. Mr. Kirti Lal, who has been posted in the same office for seven years, however, clarified that the shop had been running from the time before he was posted here. He said that it was a humanitarian to allow a poor man to run his business. He further added that since he supplied good and clean tea he was allowed to continue. The shop owner has an LPG connection and other equipment of the kitchen. Another electricity sub-station in Sector 22-A has a 'dhaba' running from its premises. The owner has covered the back lane of the sub-station with a cemented structure on the sides. Tea shop owner Shiv Chander claims to have been running the business for the past 15 to 20 years. The shop has a seating capacity of 10 to12 persons. The electricity connection is provided by the sub-station. The owner has also made provision for a cemented water tank. Shiv Chander says that he was allowed to run the business because he supplied tea and snacks at very competitive rates to the office staff. Mr. Sucha Singh, JE posted in the sub-station, denied knowledge about such a business. A few other sub-stations
have also housed similar teastalls and dhabas. |
MCC targets Sec 33
encroachments CHANDIGARH, June 18 — Continuing with its drive, enforcement staff of the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh (MCC) today removed encroachments from in front of houses in Sector 33-A here. According to sources, hedges, temporary structures, barbed wires and angle irons, which were virtually touching the road berms, were removed from in front of over 235 houses. As many as two bulldozers and six trucks, besides the staff of the MCC were pressed into service. The operation, which started around 9 a.m. continued for over 10 hours. No untoward incident was reported. The sources added that
the anti-encroachment drive is likely to continue as the
MCC has started the road-recarpeting work on the V-6
roads in the city. |
PSEB plan for uninterrupted
power supply ZIRAKPUR, June 18 — To provide uninterrupted power supply to the consumers of this area, the Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) will start a 15-day crash maintenance programme from Monday. The Board will check defected junctions and other power hindering circuits on each power line. The Board has decided to repair the joints on different power lines to the village and the peripheral colonies so that the power supply to various pockets of Nagar Panchayat, Zirakpur, and its surrounding villages would be supplied uninterrupted power. Mr K.K. Goyal, Senior Executive Engineer, Zirakpur division, said besides tree cuts, sagging and jointing of power lines , all other methods would be adopted to improve the power supply. Mr Goyal further said the problem of power breakdown in the area was due to power theft on a large scale. Many people are consuming power several times more than the sanctioned load by the Board. Moreover, they had further branched their own power connections to their neighbours and share the power bills. This process puts a heavy load on the transformers and electric connectors which results in their burning. The transformer in Bartana village has burnt for three times within a week causing a loss of Rs 1.5 lakh to the PSEB, he said. He has urged the consumers to get their power load sanctioned from the department by getting no objection certificate (NOC) from the Punjab Urban Development Authority. Otherwise a heavy penalty would be imposed on the defaulters, he added. SAS NAGAR: Residents here are sore over frequent power breakdowns. Talking to TNS, a number of residents, particularly, those living in Phase VII, said unscheduled power cuts had become routine. Mr Tirlochan Singh, a resident of Phase VII, alleged that the authorities concerned were indulging in unscheduled power cuts due to which he and his family members had to suffer a lot. Mr Satbir Singh, a resident of Phase VII, said the residents of the locality were the worst sufferers as there was no power for 2-3 hours in a day. He also complained of low water pressure in the area. Refuting the allegations of frequent power breakdowns, Mr R.R. Garg, Senior Executive Engineer, said the department was not resorting to any scheduled or unscheduled power cuts in the town. He said the power cut has been imposed on the Industrial Area for two hours between 10 and 12 p.m. today for closure of two units of the Ropar Thermal Plant. The situation will be back to normal by Saturday, he added. Meanwhlie, residents of Mullanpur, Sohana and other villages said power supply remains disrupted there for more than six hours a day. Mr Bikram Singh, a resident of Sohana, complained of low voltage in certain areas of the town. On occasions, voltage dips to 150 volts, making it impossible to operate fans, air-coolers, refrigerators and other electrical appliances. Sources in the electricity department said the real cause behind the frequent power failure was overburdened transformers. Transformers get damaged
due to their overuse as consumers are overdrawing power
than the sanctioned limits. |
14-day remand for 3 engineers CHANDIGARH, June 18 — The Judicial Magistrate, Mr A.K. Bishnoi, today turned down the plea of the prosecution for extending by two days the police remand of three engineers booked by the Vigilance Department on the charge of preparing inflated bills. The engineers are J.C. Gilhotra, C.J. Rai and J.K. Gandhi. They were picked up by the Vigilance Department early yesterday morning from their houses. They were produced before the court in the afternoon. The Magistrate had remanded them to police remand for one day. The prosecution was directed to produce them before him this morning. Mr Bishnoi today remanded them to judicial custody for 14 days. The FIR was registered by the Vigilance Department on March 16, 1999. It arrested the suspects after more than three months. In his bail application filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court heard by Mr Justice R.L. Anand, K.K. Jerath, a former Chief Engineer of the Chandigarh Administration had stated that the Administration kept the investigation in this case pending. It would arrest him when he would apply for bail in cases registered against him. The FIR also named Jagdish Mitter, Superintending Engineer (Electrical) and Sadhu Singh, Executive Engineer, as suspects. Jagdish Mitter was also a suspect in earlier cases. He was arrested and later released. He later turned approver and made a confessional statement before the court that he had taken kickbacks to the tune of Rs 3.2 lakh. On his turning approver, the Administration not only reinstated him but also appointed him to the same post. Sadhu Singh continued to be under suspension. The Vigilance Department
is also conducting investigation into other aspects of
the case. It plans to inquire the role of other officers
who had dealt with the file before it was sent to the
Chief Engineer for approval. When the Finance Department
had put certain queries on the file, the Chief Engineer
had sent the case to the Executive Engineer for settling
these queries. The Executive Engineer has written a
detailed note, justifying the increase in rates. The role
of the Executive Engineer has to be examined. |
Problems of PU library CHANDIGARH, June 18 — A delegation of 60 students led by Mr Bhupinder Singh Bhupi, President of the Haryana Students’ Association PU, today apprised the university librarian regarding the problems faced by students in the absence of proper working conditions of fans and ACs. They urged him to provide more fans in the library and repair the defective fans at the earliest. The problem is more acute in the outer hall. They also drew his attention to the insufficient water supply in the library. In a press release issued here today, Mr Mahendra Pratap, the secretary has alleged that the librarian told them that he had no funds to cater to their demands and held the university responsible for the same. The delegation later met the Dean, University Instruction ( DUI), Prof IBS Passi, with the same problem, who assured them that he would look into the matter. The association members
have warned the university authorities that if their
demands were not met within a week, they would lock the
library and start an agitation. They maintain that these
days students were busy preparing for various competitive
examinations and non-availability of these facilities
were sheer exploitation of the student community. |

Rathee, a retired IAS officer and former member of the Haryana Public Service Commission; Mr Hans Raj Swan, former Director-General of the Haryana Police; Mr Gian Chand Gupta, former Mayor of Chandigarh, and Mr J.C. Kanwar, former Registrar, Cooperative societies, Haryana. A senior citizen, Mrs Shakuntala Paul, said the actions of the Pakistan Prime Minister had belied his name “Sharif”. Among others who participated in the rally were Mr Ashutosh Rajan, President of the Haryana Yuva Brahmin Sabha; and Mr Tarun Bhandari, President of the Youth Welfare Council, Panchkula. Donations were also
collected for the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund |
Parents blame women teachers KHARAR, June 18 — Resentment prevails among parents against the poor pass percentage in matriculation examination in many government schools in the area. They hold the wives of senior officers of the Punjab Government responsible for this poor performance. A study showed that 44 students out of 72 failed in Government Senior Secondary School, Gharuan, 36 out of 60 failed in Government Girls High School, Gharuan, and 51 out of 111 failed in Government High School, Garangan. Similarly, 31 students out of 47 in Government High School, Cholta Khurd, 43 out of 75 in Government High School, Tira, 36 out of 75 in Government High School, Desu Majra, 39 out of 55 in Government High School, Daon, 51 out of 80 in Government High School Giga Majra, 22 out of 60 in Government High School, Machlai Kalan and 33 out of 56 in Government High School, Rani Majra, had failed. Besides, 92 students out of 110 in Government Senior Secondary School, Sialba, 33 out of 78 in Government Senior Secondary School, Tewar, 17 out of 45 in Government High School, Bhago Majra, 38 out of 74 in Government High School, Landran, 47 out of 75 in Government High School, Mundo Sangtian, 39 out of 81 in Government High School, Sahoran, and 42 out of 71 in Government High School, Govindgarh, had failed. Almost half of the students who passed were to reappear in one or two subjects. Many other schools had the same results. Mr Kamlesh Sharma;
ex-sarpanch Gharuan, Mr Mehar Singh Theri member of the
state executive of the BKU, Punjab unit, Mr Gurmeet
Singh, president of the BKU, Kharar unit, and many others
alleged that one reason of this poor result was that the
wives of senior officers of the Punjab Government had
been adjusted in many of these schools. They alleged in a
press note that these women belonged to other districts,
who did not have any love for Ropar district and were
spoiling the future of the students of these villages.
They demanded that these teachers be transferred from
these schools. |

Acute shortage of drinking
water PINJORE, June 18 — Like previous years, this time too the residents of Pinjore and Kalka towns are facing an acute shortage of drinking water. Residents of these towns said that the water supply had not changed for the past several years. Residents of Pinjore town maintained that water supply was available for two to three hours a day, which was not enough. According to Mr Rattan Singh Bedi, a local resident, the water supply position worsened during summer months. The timing of water supply remain unchanged throughout the year. During summers, water usage increases manifolds but the authorities had hardly paid any attention to the issue, alleged Mr Bedi. The town also lacked a good water distribution system. Residents complained about the non-availability of taps within the residential premises. Taps have been provided in the lanes and the residents have to fetch water and store it in their homes. On Thursday, the area had gone dry due to power failure. The condition of water supply in Kalka town is also far from satisfactory. Mr D.S. Jain, a resident of Kalka, said that the town was facing shortage of water for past several years. Water is supplied to different wards at a particular time. The supply remains only for half an hour a day and that too at low pressure. Local residents said that the water pressure was lower in the upper areas. The situation is equally bad in the low lying spots. Residents said that they had to get water from far off places. A baoli near Kalka-Parwanoo, which was earlier used to draw water during summers has also almost been dried due to overuse. A local resident, Mr Samar Singh, believed that the residents had started using water lifting pumps in the absence of sufficient pressure. Water supply pipes was also very poor. At several spots in the main market taps were in poor condition. Water flows from them
throughout the supply time. A lot of water is wasted in
the absence of proper maintenance, he added. |
Demand for action against MD CHANDIGARH, June 18 — To protest against the alleged misbehaviour by the Managing Director of Housefed, members of the Punjab Housefed Karamchari Union held a rally in front of the Sector 22 office of Housefed today. In a press note issued here, Mr Sanjiv Soni, a spokesman of the union, said strong action should be taken against Mr K.S. Palne, MD, for ''misbehaving'' with the union leaders who had went to meet him regarding some demands of the employees. On this occasion, the
staff members passed a resolution condoling the death of
the wife of Mr K.K. Bawa, former Housefed Chairman, in a
road accident. They also paid homage to the Army jawans
who had laid down their lives in the Kargil sector. |

Role of Sikh
Gurus lauded Mr Jain said that Sikh Gurus sacrificed their lives for saving the religion, unity and integrity of the country. The sacrifices made by Sikh Gurus, Sikhs and Sikh soldiers hardly find any parallel in history. He said that Gurdwaras and temples in Pakistan were in bad shape and the Pakistan Government was not even allowing proper maintenance of these historic and sacred places. A strict vigil is kept on those visiting these sacred shrines, he added. Yoga camp for cops ends Such camps are proving useful and getting popular not only among members of the police force but also their families. Director of UTs in city Besides holding meetings with senior officials of the Chandigarh Administration, Mr Shenoy also discussed the pending cases and issues with them. Mr Shenoy has been specially deputed by the Union Home Minister to visit Chandigarh after a deputation of the local industries association met Mr L.K. Advani to demand allotment of industrial plots which had been pending for a long time. Mr Shenoy will also be
taken around various new projects undertaken by the
Administration. |
